Book Reviews of Decoding Wagner: An Invitation to His World of Music Drama (includes 2 CDs)
Book Review: Accessible, lively and well-written
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific read: entertaining and briskly paced. May considers historical and social factors in Wagner's work without bogging down the reader with theory or dull historicism. In fact, this work brings me a greater appreciation for Wagner than I thought possible (I'm not, my apologies, an opera fan). I would recommend it to the casual theater goer, the fine arts critic, opera fans, and anyone interested in music or 19th century theater.
